Daler-Rowney Georgian Oil Colors

Thomas and Richard Rowney began manufacturing artist's colors in England more than 200 years ago. Daler-Rowney's Georgian Oils have been the UK's best-selling oil colors for decades, and now they've gained a reputation around the world. Now more than half the output from the company's color factory in Bracknell, England, goes overseas.

This high quality line of color is produced at a uniform and economical price. Daler-Rowney Georgian Oil Colors are ideal for use with a knife or a brush, allowing for a variety of effects to be achieved. Every batch is matched for color and texture against exacting standards to ensure they will perform perfectly anywhere in the world, from the Amazon to Antarctica.

Daler-Rowney's Georgian Oils are made in the same way as Rowney's Artist Oils, to the same high standards. The main difference between them lies in the choice and strength of pigments.

Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Rowney Georgian Oils include some organic alternatives to the more costly metallic pigments, indicated by the term "hue" in the color name. Pigments used in the hues are chosen carefully to provide a high degree of permanence and to match the hues of the more costly metallic pigments. Daler-Rowney's Georgian Oils offer excellent quality at a uniform price across the color range, giving the opportunity to learn and experiment.

Whites — Titanium White is the most opaque and whitest of oil color whites, and is inert to other pigments. Zinc White is the most transparent white, as well as the slowest drying, and is widely used for tinting and glazing. Flake White, the fastest drying and most flexible of the whites, is widely used in underpainting.

I am not a fulltime pro but do paint quite a lot and exibit my work painted using Georgian oils. I paint both en Plein Air as well as in the studio with this paint. It is a good value for the money. I can't bring myself to pay the high prices for paint that dries out sometimes before I can get back to my easel. The texture is smooth and buttery and covers well. I have mixed Georgian oils with other brands without issue. Overall-love the paint!

I've used Georgian oil paint for many years. I've used other brands as well, but Georgian is top-quality paint and a good value. I've read some odd reviews here about it being "too oily". First of all, oil paint has oil in it. Second, every time you put oil paint on your palette you should pick up a palette knife and mix it up a bit. Smooth it out. You might be surprised what a difference it makes. I do with any paint brand and even if I'm going to add an aggregate to the paint afterwards. Oil paint is not toothpaste. Don't think you should just squirt it on your brush and start using it.

This paint is far and away the best oil needed for any up and coming artist of the faith...with this paint I can take the next step toward making a great work, and not have to cringe to bare the cost of having to buy a more expensive paint. This paint comes out of the tube thick, but when applying it to a painting, it works with ease...like the name, this paint is like the brown eagle soaring through a vast array of the all too strained heart.

When I first discovered this brand I was really excited that people seem floored about a paint that was cheep and came in a higher quantity than most (225ml instead of 200ml). I purchased 8 tubes of 225ml paint and am sorry to say that 2 of them (25% of my purchase) is almost unusable. My Burnt Siena is so oily that it drips out of the tube and I have to dab it with paper towel to even try to begin using it, and my Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue has so little oil in it that it completely blends into nothing if i try to mix it with anything else. And as a whole I feel that each of these colors aren't strong enough to hold its own when trying to add value to anything, the entire space just ends up turning into one color when I want it to fade in or out.

If you are interested in realism do not purchase these paints (it is a pain to try to add detail and value), but if you are into anything else, these paints will work just fine. Also check to make sure there is a return policy so you don't get stuck using useless paints if you are unfortunate enough to receive them (with the odds I gathered you have about a 1 in 4 chance).

The price of this product compared to similar, competitive alternatives is:

A solid value

I started using Daler-Rowney paint at the suggestion of my art teacher. With other paints, especially Titanium white, I need to thin the paint before being able to apply it to the canvas. This created problems trying to get the paint to the right consistency. But this paint comes right out of the tube and goes on the canvas like butter. Much easier to block in the entire painting quickly. The paint is also very affordable. I understand that more expensive paints probably have more pigment especially in the rarer pigments (like the cadmiums). But with paint this inexpensive I don't mind using more paint so that isn't a problem necessarily

Georgian is a high quality oil paint at an economical price. The lightfast, permanent pigments are finely milled for easy blending. Georgian is carefully tested for consistancy and there is no color shift between wet and dry paint making color matching a breeze!
